When left on, spell-check will highlight misspelled words with a red underline anytime focus is set to an editable text area. To replace a misspelled word with one from the dictionary, simply right-click the underlined word to access a drop-down list of recommended alternatives.

July’s early release brings to life a big, new design feature: The Font Manager. With the new font manager an author can upload any font file (.otc, .ttf & .ttc) to their account. Once the font file has processed (just a few seconds), the font can be added and used in any project. For authors who are working collaboratively with other ZebraZapps users, transferred projects with uploaded fonts will leave the fonts embedded in the project. However, for copyright purposes the fo
